good for audiobooks?

Haven't used the shuffle for audiobooks but should work fine. Just don't try to load the entire Library of Congress.

I have one and would not recomend it for audiobooks. The controls are poorly designed and it's impossible to fast foward and rewind in the same track.

Hi Larry - I am also looking for mp3 player for audiobooks from NetLibrary - Do you know if Sansa has bookmarking feature? How did you narrow your choices to Sansa? Thanks for your help. Willow

Yes you can, although I haven't done so yet. You can find apps for doing this at https://play.google.com/store/search?q=audio+books&c;=apps.

I have listened to many audiobooks, some of them quite large. I only do one at a time, with no music.

Absolutely, this is a great microphone set for book narrations. I use this myself for narrations and music creations. Enjoy and have fun!

Yes! I bought this for my granddaughter to use to listen to books that had cassettes that went with the book. It's great!

I have never used the Audiobook. For my mp3 downloads I had to get a converter from CNET. I just looked, there are two Audio book converters based on category selection. I'm not sure this will help but I hope it does. Always scan what you download first.

I'm sorry I've not figured that out either. I bought it for my Mother to listen to audio books but it just didn't work fot that purpose. Was very disappointed.

I've never downloaded audiobooks before, but I think it should work. It is a regular ipod, if you can download it you can play it.

yes, I listen to Audible audiobooks on mine all the time. I have at least three dozen books on it, with room for more. Love it! Just wish it had a clip to hold it to my clothes. Bought a case at Target for $15 that has a clip, so that helps.

Beast, love how you say that. Audio books work very well for me. Good features; pick up where you left off, option to speed up or slow down the speed up the audio. Just awesome. As you know you have to find some way of downloading the audio book (i used youtube). I dnt knw about audible and this player mixing

Bose Mini by far. Amazon one is not nearly as loud and does not have half the bass. It's also more than 1/2 the price so you get what you pay for. It's great for audiobooks.

I use mine purely for audio books. I can download 8-10 books at a time (I am a member of audible.com). There are a few minor flaws with it, but I have worked out a few glitches. Holding down the FF or REW buttons cause it to speed up in that function. Also if you are in the chapter mode you can skip by the chapter. I have never tried it with podcasting, even though that is available through my service with audible.com. They have you register your device and then downloading is very easy, so I can't imagine that downloading a podcast would be any more complicated than a book. The only other flaw I have noticed is that when you pause it and then start it again, it skips a few seconds ahead. It doesn't do it if you pause then turn it off then turn it back on. (Pause then off is the way it will remember where you left off and when you turn it back on it will be at your stopping place ready to go again.) Hope this helps-I plan on picking another up for my kids.

That's why I bought it, for old talking books like stuff. It did load them to audacity on my computer. We will see if some one will help me get them out!!!

I use my old shuffle for listening to books. It's small and cheap so I just keep it in my bag for when I need a book. In fact I have started loading only the book onto it and then when I am done with the book I loan it to a friend, ipod and all.
